Nortd Labs

Open(Art) Fellow Nortd Labs is an international research and development studio founded in New York City by Addie Wagenknecht and Stefan Hechenberger in 2006. Nortd generates work in the area of art, architecture, and system design. Nortd is defined as a collaboration based studio of creative thought that engages science, art and design. Their open source hardware has been built and used by thousands of people, labs, hacker-spaces and universities worldwide. We believe that people should collaborate globally and build locally.

Be a part of history! Support the cause and open source fabrication. Pledge now!
Laser cutters are a key technology for making things.
Remember when people couldn't make their own videos, CDs or print out photos? Me neither (at least we try to forget). In many areas of media, the last century was quite the read-only culture where a few gatekeepers would sit on the means to produce everything. Not the best situation for creativity or for people with lots of cool ideas but no cash.
How can you help? Your pledge is what makes this project possible and the more funded the community, the faster we can make this happen.

They Were Here was a site-specific installation by Addie Wagenknecht, Production Lab Fellow, installed on April 3, 2008, in the Northwest corner of Clement Clarke Moore Park, located at 22nd and 10th Aves.
A flock of stark, white, static two-dimensional birds inhabited a tree. The birds’ physical negatives were modeled on the actual species that once inhabited Manhattan. According to a recent Audubon Society report, 20 species of birds are declining at a rate of 68 percent.
